Didnt like Persona 5? |
That's not the point I'm making. The goal of this game is to turn the RPG genre on it's head, in a similar way to what the original SMT was doing back on the Super Nintendo (and NES with megami tensei).
The Persona team has a lot of talent, but the are absolutely a mainstream RPG maker by comparison. Which is fine, but I don't expect anything close to as different as what SMT was to modern RPGs of that era. It would have to be like a first person open world turn based RPG with some completely original setting, theme, concept, etc so match that, and I don't think the Persona team have ever claimed to have that kind of spirit to reject norms in them. Which is fine. They make good games. What they don't make are ground-breakingly different games.
Again, in an era where every RPG was a high fantasy 3rd person game top down game, SMT was a cyber punk horror story set in a real world location with real world-accurate representation of demons and mythological entities, and all in the first person. Persona 5 is not the polar opposite of RPGs being made today. Again, which is fine. But even looking at the art released thus far, there's nothing that screams "different." That would not have been the case for SMT 1+2.

It seems like the Persona team is behind it, so quality is something Im not worried about.But if you mean that you think this will be more of an action RPG rather turn based(which is what the team has experience in), I wouldnt worry too much, given the vast experience the team has with RPGs in general.Plus, we still know nothing about it, so worrying about the game for now is just stressing yourself out for nothing. |
I'm not worried about the quality. I'm concerned about the intent. I'm very sure this won't be an action RPG. That's not what worries me. I don't agree with the sentiment that we don't have enough info to worry. We know the team and the purpose. The team has a history that clashes with that purpose.
